Here is where I attempt to describe myself in just enough detail to
make myself sound like the kind of interesting yet relatable human
being you would like to meet. A challenging task, to be sure, so
let's get started!

I'm a lifetime card-carrying geek. This includes science, pop
culture, sci-fi, and video/board/tabletop gaming geekery - I like
to dabble in a little of everything. Thus, my life these days
includes Dungeons and Dragons, semi-regular board game nights,
frequent reading of Wikipedia, and academic discussions on
intellectual topics ranging from the physiological differences
between various methods of taking cocaine to the question of how
crabs breathe. (Crabs have gills at the base of their legs, by the
way. They can absorb oxygen as long as those gills remain
wet.

I embrace the label of Social Justice Warrior. I support feminism,
racial justice, treating trans* individuals with respect and
dignity, supporting individuals with mental illness, etc. I don't
expect a pat on the back for holding these views - they ought to be
considered the bare minimum requirements for not being an utter
shithead - but the public dialogue in the world today indicates
that apparently these are opinions that need to be expressed, and
can't simply be taken for granted.

As such, I will note that I am friendly to those with mental or
physical disabilities (including social anxiety or depression),
trans* and non-binary people, and anyone else who does not fit into
all the "default" check-boxes of an American human.
